A passionate account of how the gulf between France's metropolitan
elites and its working classes are tearing the country apart
Christophe Guilluy, a French geographer, makes the case that France
has become an "American society"-one that is both increasingly
multicultural and increasingly unequal. The divide between the
global economy's winners and losers in today's France has replaced
the old left-right split, leaving many on "the periphery." As
Guilluy shows, there is no unified French economy, and those cut
off from the country's new economic citadels suffer
disproportionately on both economic and social fronts. In Guilluy's
analysis, the lip service paid to the idea of an "open society" in
France is a smoke screen meant to hide the emergence of a closed
society, walled off for the benefit of the upper classes. The
ruling classes in France are reaching a dangerous stage, he argues;
without the stability of a growing economy, the hope for those
excluded from growth is extinguished, undermining the legitimacy of
a multicultural nation.
